"Low" and "high" have nothing to do with with the device operates in
narrow or wide mode. In Adaptec nomenclature the "low" side is the
internal SCSI connector and the "high" side is the external connector
on the card. When "low termination" has been enabled on the card it
means no devices were detected as being connected to the internal
connector.
Probably the single most common cause of flaky SCSI behavior is
improper termination. You need to make sure that termination is
enabled on your external ZIP drive (assuming it is the last device
on the bus). There are two slider switches on the back of the unit.
One controls whether the device uses SCSI ID 5 or 6 and the other
controls termination. I also would encourage you to press [ctrl-A]
during your next boot and configure the card with the appropriate
termination rather than letting it auto-sense. I've never heard of
any problems with the card not properly setting its internal
termination but I prefer to explicitly set such things (same goes
for Ethernet NIC speed and duplex). There tend to be fewer surprises
that way.

Subject: Our CC encoder TES3
Hi Tony;
Our captioning encoder seems to be getting less and less 'stable'.
Today, 30 seconds into the noon news, I got a page to get to the
control room asap.
No CC was making it to air. On checking the front panel, the A data
port lite was flashing as expected when the sript is rolling, but the
insert light was off. So I did a 10 second powerdown. Several minutes
later, it came up, but in the same condition. So I did a 15 second
powerdown, same story. So I did a 30 second powerdown and it finally
came up operational.
By this time, we are 20 some minutes into a 30 minute newscast, and
the phone panel looks like a flippin christmas tree.
Is there not something we can do about either the crashing, or the
re-boot time? This fight to get it rebooted is at least a weekly
thing, and its getting a bit old.
Our production manager thinks it might be a power glitch, but frankly
I'm as a tech, a bit dubious because if I have to shut it off for a
whole 30 seconds just to get all the power supply drained and achieve
a good reboot, it sure as heck ain't gonna see a 1 cycle glitch when
the substation regulator moves to another tap. I'm willing to go
along, and put a ups on it, but somebody like you is gonna have to
convince me that *will* fix the problem.
Will it, or do we arrange for a loaner while you take a look at this
one?
Cheers Tony,

This is right, numerical packages normally circumvent this by doing
single.x.single in double and returning the single result. 3DNow also does not
affect the flags therefore overflow/underflow & other exceptions will go
unreported. However there is an errata (feature?) in Intel processors that
makes the FPU not IEEE compliant (see www.x86.org or www.sandpile.org) for
details so if you are really concerned about very accurate results and
production level software you should avoid the Celeron/Pentium II/Pentium III.
Early leaked benchmarks and the design make the K7 (Athlon?) the choice for
highly accurate scientific work at high speed.
3DNow (& SSE) can be used for special purposes in scientific work - especially
signal and image processing. Apparently the K7 has a multiply & accumulate
feature as an extension to 3DNow which would come in very useful for a lot of
image processing algorithms.

A thing that might help is upgrading to firmware 1.0g. I've heard many
problems with firmware version 1.0f, and 1.0e will probably not be much
better. Upgrade to 1.0g, and it might work... :) You can find it at
http://www.yamahayst.com/ somewhere.

I had exactly the same problem, and I eventually mucked around with

any difference. I don't remember exactly what I did (I'm just going to

Did you ever get your motorola modem to work? It is listed as Red Hat
incompatible, will never work no matter what you do. I got it to dial

I definitely had the sound card working under 5.2. I'll play under 6.0

Hmm... I really don't think it will work in Dosemu, because it puts a restriction on
what ports you can use. And, depending on card manufacturers, nobody uses the same
ports and IO addresses.

Good advice to follow. Even UPS Ground shipping on a 50-70 lb. monitor

You could do it with snmp and the correct MIB-datebases but the problem

That isn't what the web page meant to imply. This is a relativly
new product for NI and the intent was to distinguish between the
LabVIEW product and the driver software. It seemed likely that
the release of LV would imply that all HW was supported. There
is currently serial, GPIB, TCP, and UDP support, but it will take
time to get other HW support, especially DAQ.
The DAQ group is investigating the possibility of a driver for linux,
but it was decided to release the LabVIEW product in its current form
and support those making third party drivers. This early version will
also help answer some questions about the potential of the linux market.
The web page says there are no plans to port other drivers. Another
interpretation, mine, is that there are no certainties as to which
additional drivers, if any, will be ported. They are being considered,
though.
